Austin Film Festival Day#3

What a way to start the day!  Of course the gym came first.    We left our car on our side of the bridge and walked over to the Austin Convention Ctr to see AGE OF CHAMPIONSHIP.  A beautiful documentary of the Senior Olympics.  The audience gave the filmmakers' subjects a standing ovation.  This is a beautiful documentary that should be shown in Middle Schools throughout the country to combat ageism.  Don't miss this film.  It is so inspiring.

 Then came AN ORDINARY FAMILY.  A beautiful film about family, faith and a brother's coming out of the closet.  Shot in Austin with an ensemble that will make you feel life as a film person in Austin is so good.

We headed over to the Stephen Austin for drinks outside and then up to the Texas Spirit Theater for BENEATH THE DARKNESS with Dennis Quaid, a world premier.    Blech, yuch.  You can miss this one.
